Apple Watch 7

If you have an iPhone and don’t mind the form factor, this watch is an excellent monitoring tool with every kind of sensor you could want and excellent accuracy measuring heart rate, heart rate variability, O2, and even sleep. The Apple Watch 7 is less than the latest version and has almost anything you could want. See Wired.com review of this product.

Fitbit 5

This is the best budget self monitoring tool. It can’t track as many sports as other devices and it is not quite as accurate with its heart rate measurement, but, especially if you use Google’s Fit app already, it does what you need and its sleep tracking is better than many more expensive devices.

Fenix 7S

If you yearn to track every kind of sport accurately and are committed to a health lifestyle, this is your device. Of all the devices we have tried, it is the most accurate. It doesn’t require charging every day. And the Garmin Connect app has gotten better and better over the years. It even shares data with other apps reasonably well. Of course, the price tag is daunting. But one thing to consider, Garmin does continue updating the software for free for several years.

Lumen Metabolism Tracker

Measure your metabolism in real-time through the breath and see what fuel source your body is using for energy, carbs for fats. See Wired.com review of this product. We have a couple of patients who are using this. It is reasonably accurate measure of ketosis and can serve as a motivation to shift your diet to one that limits carbohydrates.

Prolon – Fasting Mimicking Diet

The ProLon Fast Mimicking Diet (FMD) is a five-day program designed to mimic the metabolic effects of fasting while still providing some essential nutrients. It involves consuming a specific kit of pre-packaged foods that are low in calories and mostly plant-based. Proponents claim it offers the benefits of traditional fasting, like improved cellular health and weight management, with fewer side effects like fatigue and hunger. However, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new diet, especially one like this with specific requirements.

Luminette Light Therapy Glasses

One of the people I work with had this to say about the glasses….

“I give the light therapy glasses a thumbs up. It’s so easy to use them and based on my experience (1 week) it’s easy to incorporate their use in my daily morning routine.I keep the glasses next to my toothbrush so it’s hard to miss them. Next to coffee maker seems like a good place too.As far as mood, what I noticed was a decrease in anxiety and overall more content with life, and more present.  I’ve been taking more careful daily notes directly in the spreadsheet during this periods.  It was also a good week for me on the exercise, progress on work goals and seeing my personal friends (instead of just work people) so there are other contributors to the good week.“
